How eBay fees are calculated

For most categories, eBay charges a final value fee of 13.6% of the total sale, plus a per-order fee. The total sale is the item price, the shipping you charge, and any sales tax eBay collects from the buyer. The per-order fee is $0.30 on orders of $10 or less and $0.40 on orders above $10.

Final value fee = (item price + shipping + sales tax) × category rate
Per-order fee = $0.30 up to $10, otherwise $0.40
Promoted Listings fee = ad rate × (item price + shipping), only on ad-driven sales

Worked example

A $50 item with $8 shipping and no sales tax has a total sale of $58. The final value fee is 13.6% of $58, which is $7.89. Add the $0.40 per-order fee and eBay takes $8.29, or 14.3% of the sale. You receive $49.71 before your own costs.

Other eBay costs to know about

Promoted Listings are optional. You set an ad rate and pay it only when a promoted listing leads to a sale. Sales to buyers outside the US can carry an extra international fee of 1.65%. Some categories have their own rates, and Store subscriptions change the rates in many categories. If your category is different, choose Custom rate and enter the percentage from eBay.

Frequently asked questions

How much does eBay take from a sale?

For most categories eBay charges a 13.6% final value fee on the total sale (item, shipping and sales tax) plus $0.30 or $0.40 per order. A $100 sale with free shipping costs about $14.00 in fees.

Does eBay charge fees on shipping and sales tax?

Yes. The final value fee applies to the total amount the buyer pays, including shipping and any sales tax collected.

How do I reduce my eBay fees?

Choose the right category, compare Store subscription rates for your sales volume, keep Promoted Listings ad rates low, and raise your price on very small orders where the fixed per-order fee weighs more.

What is the break-even price on eBay?

It is the lowest item price where a sale makes zero profit after eBay fees, your product cost, shipping and other costs. The calculator works it out for you.
